I am entering Week 2 of Nardil. After my first 6 days I went up to 30mg from 15mg. I'd been getting GREAT benefits from 15mg (for extreme social phobia and bipolar II depression), and figured 30mg would be perfect. I upped it, and got way anxious again, so now I've bumped it back down to 15mg after spending two days at 30mg.
This is Nardil Day 10, very early, I realize. First 6 days: amazing on 15mg. Days 7-8: back to full-on social phobia at 30mg. Now Days 9-10: Back to 15mg/day, and at the baseline social phobia I came into this with.
Has anyone had similar experience of doing great with the Nardil very early, and then itcomes back at you full force with horrible phobia and anxiety? I miss those first few days!
I'm hoping either, a- 30mg was too much for me and that at 15mg I'll start to see the amazing benefit I first got at 15mg; or b, at 30mg initially the side effects of heightened anxiety was only a temporary side effect and the result of going up too high too soon. I was amazed at how great it was at 15mg and am irrationally worried I took it full-throttle into poop-out mood by going too high. It's been 2 days back on 15mg and it's not as great as it was initially.
Any feedback would be wonderful.> could try clonidine or prazosin.
